"I was comfortable in all, I admit,..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“A novel is never anything but a philosophy expressed in images. And in a good novel the philosophy has disappeared into the images.”

“Just as all thought, and primarily that of non-signification, signifies something, so there is no art that has no signification.”

“I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again. For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate.”

“No one is ever satisfied where he is.”

“and there had been times when he wished he'd been born into a different family.”

“The world is nothing but a great desire to live and a great dissatisfaction with living.”

“This is the true joy in life: Being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”

“Just try to be happy. Unhappiness starts with wanting to be happier.”

“Before strongly desiring anything, we should look carefully into the happiness of its present owner.”
